Social Accountability for Citizen-Centric Governance: A Changing Paradigm
Washington, DC | May 12-13, 2015
The GPSA Partners Forum brings together civil society organizations, academia, businesses and governments from all around the globe, providing a space to reflect on social accountability theory and practice, and define the future social accountability agenda.
This 2015 Forum will focus on the shifting paradigm in social accountability towards a citizen-centric governance approach. We will explore how the emerging concept of ‘strategic’ social accountability will play an important role in how citizen-centered governance is realized.
The Forum will explore strategic social accountability practice and learning in key sectors such as health, education, municipal services, extractives and others. Topical issues for strategic social accountability practice such as political economy interventions, constructive engagement, coalition building, citizen trust, and others, will be deliberated.
A highlight of the Forum will be the presence of the World Bank Group President, Jim Yong Kim, for a direct dialogue with GPSA partners, and the presentation of the GPSA Leadership in Social Accountability Awards.
